Seasoned To Death
— LauraW

You've Contaminated Your Last Cheeto, Vermin

This one is too fun to stay in the sidebar.

I love the dubbed-in 'thud' every time a fly hits the dirt:

Frickin' COOL. Getting one for every member of my extended family, including the babies.

Our previous pest-control efforts were fun and effective too, but it will be so nice to finally be able to spackle over all those #8 birdshot holes in the kitchen walls.

Thanks to Andy.

If this works as well on hippies and OWSers, there'll be many given out as Christmas gifts.

I think he said the effective range was about two feet.  Do you really want to get that close to an OWSer?  The stench would be unbearable!

34 Of course, this is not a toy. Don't shoot it at people, and certainly don't load it with pepper and shoot your siblings in the face with it. Not even if you have to take time off work and fly out to Springfield just for the chance to do so. Because you're a responsible adult now, and adults don't do that sort of thing.

194 PRINCETON, NJ -- Democrats are significantly less likely now (39%) than they were in the summers of 2004 and 2008 to say they are "more enthusiastic about voting than usual" in the coming presidential election. Republicans are more enthusiastic now than in 2008, and the same as in 2004.

These results are based on a July 19-22 USA Today/Gallup poll. They suggest a shift in Republicans' and Democrats' orientation to voting in the coming presidential election compared with the last two, with Republicans expressing more voting enthusiasm. The current 51% to 39% Republican advantage in voter enthusiasm is slightly larger than the 53% to 45% GOP advantage Gallup measured in February of this year.

This.  TX Law requires that you obtain and maintain flood insurance to get a mortgage if you live in a designated flood area, but that won't tell you whether your particular area- flood area or not- has actually experienced one.

And you want at least as much flood insurance (if you need it at all) as you have "regular" home owners insurance.

I think this is the ultimate motivation behind

 

HIGH. SPEED. RAIL.

 

For union thugs and corrupt politicos it's a way to generate a huge cash flow that they can divert.

 

For hard-core Reds, however, it's a way to control transportation. With a car, the proletariat can go where they want, when they want, taking what they want (e.g., goods and services). That makes it difficult/ impossible to fix prices, because the black market that arises undermines the command economy.

 

Solution? Control transportation. One official at a train station ("Papers, please") can easily make sure that people, goods, and services don't move unless authorized. That's why the USSR had internal passports, and why Reds here now want to get us out of our cars.

Most of my joshing of Houston is light-hearted banter.  I'd talk the same smack of Austin or Dallas.

 

A lot of these towns all suffer from the same mixture of extreme population growth over the last couple decades, mixed with a general preference by that same population for individual means of transportation (get there in my own car) over public transportation (bus, light rail, subway).  So as a result, they all suffer from rush-hour traffic issues, solved over the years by TXDoT engineers, to varying degrees of success.

 

Houston got a big ring around it.  I don't know much about it, but stories from my FIL  of two-hour commutes to get West / East every day, each way, send shivers  down my spine.

 

Austin got an upper-deck to the main highway that runs through.  Which is great, because it doubled the lanes without doubling the footprint.  But you'd better know well  in advance whether or not you need to be "up" or "down" for your exit.

 

Dallas  has  an ever-growing network of toll-roads.  The "ring" around the city, LBJ, is known  as The Dallas Death Trap for two  reasons.  Death, and Trap.

 

Dallas is also the only place I am aware of that allows you to travel southbound on East Northwest Highway.

287 (Fox News) — Officials in at least three cities have vowed to block efforts to open Chick-fil-A restaurants after the company’s president told reporters that he supported the traditional definition of marriage – and warned that redefining marriage might bring God’s judgment on the nation. “Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel in a statement to the Chicago Tribune. “They disrespect our fellow neighbors and residents.” Emanuel was vowing his support for Alderman Proco Moreno’s announcement that he would block construction of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in his district. “If you are discriminating against a segment of the community, I don’t want you in the First Ward,” he told the newspaper.

Skydiver "Fearless Felix" Baumgartner has done it again.

On Wednesday, Baumgartner took another stratospheric leap, this time from an altitude of more than 18 miles - an estimated 96,640 feet, nearly three times higher than cruising jetliners. He landed safely near Roswell, N.M. His top speed was an estimated 536 mph, said Brian Utley, an official observer on site.

Since the vast majority of America aligns with Chick-fil-A values, doesn't this mean Chicago is woefully out of step with the rest of America, Mr. Mayor?

“Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values,”

 

This is true.  Chick-Fil-A would probably serve a delicious meal out in the street, in front of children who might get caught in the crossfire.

 

Chicago values would require that the meal be moved into a back-alley,  where no one but  the rival gangmembers from  Church's would risk taking a cap in the  tenders.

When you leave the plane it takes 10 sec. for the first thousand ft then 5 seconds for every thousand once you acheive terminal velocity. At the Higher elevations you fall faster becausr of the thin air. If I was guessing I wuld say 9-12 minutes. You open at about 3000 ft.
